Meals | Alternative Mental Health Treatment Residence
We provide food at the residence and this food is specifically created for meeting the requirements of residents. All of the food unprocessed and whole.
The most common allergens such as wheat and dairy have been eliminated, and replaced which whole food alternatives. Sugar has also been eliminated. The residents practice what is called orthomolecular nutrition.

Orthomolecular Nutrition
In 1960, Linus Pauling, a chemist from Portland Oregon, was twice awarded a Nobel Prize. Pauling coined the phrase “orthomolecular” to convey his idea of using the right molecules in right amounts. Abram Hoffer, his contemporary and Canadian orthomolecular physician, implicated and exhibited that optimum concentrations of molecular substances naturally occurring in the body system were crucial for maintaining optimal mental health states in humans. Our underlying conclusions and beliefs are put simply, that whole food equals a whole mind.
We use whole and organic foods as medicine. We recognize that the purity of water, a lack of toxins that are in hygiene products, and elimination of cleaning products that are also toxic is all incredibly important in creating a low-toxin lifestyle which can supports mental health. Using an astute medical investigative process, we discover underlying causes of why a person is symptomatic or addicted. These causes may be an altered neurochemistry, toxicity, hormonal issues, autoimmune disorders, bacterial infections including Lyme, infectious diseases such as parasites, fungal infections such as mold, and a wide array of other medical issues. Since the first organ that registers chemical changes developed from any of these medical conditions is the brain, these conditions often create mental symptoms. Rather than treat medical issues with psychiatric drugs, we treat them as the medical conditions that they are. Much of the work we do is surrounded around customized detoxificat ion for removal of specific toxins such as heavy metals and residue from drugs in a comprehensive Alternative Mental Health environment.
In today’s Western society, the food industries persuade us to purchase and eat foods which are altered from original and raw states to over-refined states that are dead nutritionally, which even if we eat until we are full, these foods leave us undernourished. Manufacturers of processed food artificially and chemically modify, sweeten, and color these products that are dead nutritionally, which would be horrible tasting and inedible without these modifications, to fool us into eating them. However, because more nutrients and blood oxygen is used by the human brain than any of the body’s other organs, our brains, as well as our whole nervous systems, will begin feeling the effects from a biochemical deficiency in nutrients far before obvious physical effects are seen.
Abram Hoffer once said that as long as the processing of food continues stripping out essential nutrients, that there won’t be any letup in creation of chronically ill health.
To begin relieving this widespread problem, program participants are provided with whole food and naturally organic diets while synchronously eliminating from their diets white flour and white rice, caffeine, and sugar.
Modern processing of food takes almost all nutrients out of our food, and individuals who consume these foods with regularity become nutrient and vitamin deficient. For those who lack basic supplementation, a common symptom is psychosis. We mostly use pharmaceutical grade, usually prescribed vitamins combined with a diet rich in whole and organic foods. We have found that this is the most corrective and rapid measure in psychosis treatment and treatment for addictive disorders.
To quote Abram Hoffer, “as long as food processing continues to strip out essential nutrients, there will be no letup in the creation of chronic ill health.”
